Hollywood bad boy Brad Sinclair always gets his way. But when a dimpled five-year-old from a forgotten relationship gets dropped in his lap, he knows his life is about to change forever. Cara DuMont isn't thrilled when she gets assigned to be the nanny for the latest box-office king. It violates her one rule: no celebrity fathers, especially single ones with devilish good looks and rock-hard abs. As soon as Cara meets Brad and his adorable little girl, she knows she's in for a world of trouble. Because some rules are meant to be broken.

CD Reiss shot up the USA Today bestseller list with sizzling works like Hardball and Shuttergirl, but she still has to chop wood and carry water, which was buried in the fine print. Her lawyer is working it out with God, but in the meantime, if you call and she doesn't answer, she's at the well hauling buckets.

Born in New York City, Reiss moved to Hollywood to get her master's degree in screenwriting from the University of Southern California. Unfortunately, her screenwriting went nowhere, but it did give her enough confidence to write novels.

Today she's adoringly referred to as the "Shakespeare of Smut," which she thinks is flattering, but it hasn't gotten her out of chopping a single piece of wood.
